Boeing Hit By New Design Flaw In Its 737 MAX Aircraft

Boeing’s crisis around the 737 MAX just got worse. Under fire for the death of 346 people in two crashes due to a design flaw, a new wiring issue has emerged in the same plane. The 737 MAX has been grounded since March last year, leaving Boeing with a loss of $9 billion and upsetting the operations of airlines and suppliers, including in India.

According to reports, the new potentially catastrophic flaw relates to two bundles of wiring which could trigger a short circuit and under certain conditions cause the 737 MAX to crash.

The US aviation watchdog, the Federal Aviation Administration, stated that the agency and Boeing "are analysing certain findings from a recent review of the proposed modifications to the Boeing 737 MAX.
